Dry lentils can typically be safe to use for several years after their expiration date if they have been stored properly in a cool, dark, and dry place. While they may lose some quality in terms of texture and cooking time, they are unlikely to spoil or become unsafe to eat. Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as an off smell or pest infestations, before using them. If they appear normal, they can still be used in cooking.
If it was store bought in the can, it should have an expiration date. If you canned it yourself, it should be good for a year or so, as long as it was properly sealed and kept in a cool, dry place.

One pound of dry lentils typically yields about 2.5 to 3 cups of cooked lentils.

The exact amount can vary slightly depending on the type of lentils and the cooking method used.
Sixteen ounces of dry lentils typically yields about 4 to 5 cups of cooked lentils. This is because lentils generally triple in volume when cooked. The exact amount can vary slightly depending on the type of lentils and cooking method used.
Green lentils (the most common kind in north America) almost double their weight when cooked. So 450 gm of cooked Green lentils would have been about 230 grams of dry lentils.
One cup of dry lentils typically yields about 2 to 2.5 cups of cooked lentils, as they expand during cooking by absorbing water. Therefore, the cooked weight of lentils equivalent to one cup of dry lentils is approximately 200 to 250 grams. This can vary slightly depending on the type of lentils and cooking method used.
